- Lot Description
(New York, 1785-1851)
Scolopax minor, Plate CCLXVIII, 1835, from The Birds of America, London, 1827-1838, Havell edition, hand-colored etching, engraving and aquatint on wove paper with "J. Whatman/1835" watermark 14.5 x 20.5 in. platemark on uncut sheet, 25.5 x 38 in.
Provenance: By descent from noted early American artist Robert Weir (1803-1889), to son and artist Julian Alden Weir (1852-1919) and from thence to his daughter, artist Dorothy Weir Young (1890-1947)
Note: This work was framed for Dorothy Weir Young, daughter to Robert Weir with part of the wide margins folded over a wooden strainer, 22.25 x 27.5 inches. It was displayed in this manner at the Branchville, Connecticut summer home and studio of the Weir family (now Weir Farm National Historic Site) until the 1960s. Recently unframed and flattened by a paper conservator, the display portion of the work retains its original color and the paper is bright and clean, although there is light toning at the folds from the strainer and the portion of the margins beyond.
